HIGHLIGHTS SY50U
ROBUST AND DURABLE
All components are designed to withstand
high stress. The workmanship of the
materials is also especially high-quality –
almost all the welded seams are perfectly
executed by welding robots.
IN THE SMALLEST
OF SPACES
The robust swivel bracket is the most
important aspect for all tasks. It enables
the machine to achieve its exceptionally
compact mobility.
MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE
Thanks to the engine bonnet supported by
gas pressure dampers and the central,
clear arrangement of the key
components, usual routine checks and
work on the machine can be carried out
quickly and easily.
Not all products are available in all markets. As part of our continuous improvement process, we reserve the right to modify specifications and designs without giving prior
notice. The figures may contain additional options.
PERFECT
COMBINATION OF
COMPACTNESS +
AND POWER
The SANY SY50U really is a powerful little machine. Its compact design
means it is at home on urban construction sites, as well as anywhere
with areas that are particularly small. Its power and versatility
therefore ensure productivity.

COST-EFFECTIVENESS
AS STANDARD
In conjunction with the electronic fuel
injection, the autothrottle function
adjusts the engine speed to the power
required. This means that the smart
hydraulic system reduces the fuel
consumption, engine wear and exhaust
emissions. This is positively reflected in its
cost-effectiveness and low life cycle costs.
